In Visual FoxPro, I see no reason to use parentheses for parameters - after a "parameters" or "lparameters" statement, I mean. Perhaps somebody thought (erroneously) that they were needed, since they are part of the syntax in many languages.
The change from "tn" to "tc" probably reflects a belief that the parameter will always, or usually, be of type character.
